CSR launched RoadTunes, a feature rich Bluetooth hands-free
module for Personal Navigation Devices (PNDs) and in-car systems. Based on CSR’s BlueCore5-Multimedia
platform, RoadTunes offers a low
power, fully interoperable design with a powerful RISC and DSP processor. The
design incorporates both Clear Voice Capture (CVC) and echo cancellation
technologies.

The Bluetooth automotive market has experienced an enormous growth rate and
we are confident that this will continue over the next two to three years… RoadTunes perfectly addresses the needs for both the
PND and factory fitted markets, providing designers with the ability to
integrate Bluetooth connectivity easily and quickly with superior audio quality
and a wide range of functions. RoadTunes enables designers to get fully
interoperable products to market faster and with the lowest cost. It simply
makes it easy to add Bluetooth handsfree to any device that has a host
processor.
RoadTunes Bluetooth hands-free module is designed to
allow OEMs to integrate Bluetooth connectivity
quickly with an easy Plug-In concept.
Incorporating Bluetooth Embedded Control Interface (BECI) guidelines, RoadTunes
allows for easy integration via a simple interface/API. With almost no host MIPS
required, RoadTunes takes the stress out of incorporating wireless connectivity
in embedded and aftermarket automotive devices. The average time to integrate
RoadTunes on a device is less than six weeks and does not require prior in-depth
Bluetooth experience.
RoadTunes Bluetooth hands-free module allows the simultaneous pairing of up to eight Bluetooth devices,
and controls safely a vast array of functions through numerous voice prompts. As
it also offers multiple profile support (including A2DP, AVRCP, HFP, PBAP, DUN
and SPP), devices designed around RoadTunes can offer full Bluetooth
connectivity including simultaneous audio, remote control of devices and
hands-free operation.
In addition to allowing users to pair up to eight devices, RoadTunes also
enables three-way calling and automatic reconnection on start-up. With multi
profile support, RoadTunes provides users with the power to access a variety of
functions including last number redial, mute, voice dialling, phone book and
even call history download (SIM/Memory).
As a complete solution, RoadTunes has been tested against the highest number
of phones in, or about to appear in, the market. CSR provides all of its
customers with the entire list of phones that the design has been tested
against.
RoadTunes Bluetooth hands-free module is available in packages with external Flash memory, Plug n
Go, and Plug n Go AEC-Q100 (automotive qualified package).
